Deuteronomy 13:16

Context
13:16 You must gather all of its plunder into the middle of the plaza 1  and burn the city and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God. It will be an abandoned ruin 2  forever – it must never be rebuilt again.

Deuteronomy 26:13

Context
26:13 Then you shall say before the Lord your God, “I have removed the sacred offering 3  from my house and given it to the Levites, the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows just as you have commanded me. 4  I have not violated or forgotten your commandments.

1 tn Heb “street.”

2 tn Heb “mound”; NAB “a heap of ruins.” The Hebrew word תֵּל (tel) refers to this day to a ruin represented especially by a built-up mound of dirt or debris (cf. Tel Aviv, “mound of grain”).

3 tn Heb “the sacred thing.” The term הַקֹּדֶשׁ (haqqodesh) likely refers to an offering normally set apart for the Lord but, as a third-year tithe, given on this occasion to people in need. Sometimes this is translated as “the sacred portion” (cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV), but that could sound to a modern reader as if a part of the house were being removed and given away.

4 tn Heb “according to all your commandment that you commanded me.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.
